 Sixteen cat owners from across the UK are fe-line fantastic after learning that their cat has made the final of the forthcoming Rescue Cat Awards 2008, organised by the UK’s leading cat welfare charity, Cats Protection. The Awards, dubbed the “Feline Oscars” and sponsored by Purina PetCare, celebrate the real-life tales of survival, bravery and heroism in the cat world. - Winners will be announced on Friday 1 August at a glittering ceremony at the Pharaohs’ Palace Hospitality Suite, which is part of the prestigious Tutankhamun Exhibition in London’s O2 Arena – a fitting venue given the ancient Egyptians’ love of cats. - At the start of 2008 over 350 cat owners submitted entries for one of the Award’s four categories - - •Hero Cat – Cats that save the day! •Ultimate Survivor – Tales of feline survival after those nine lives have been spent. •Best Friends – Where a best feline friend has radically improved the quality of human life. •Most Incredible Story – Belief-defying, true stories. If only puss could talk! - After entries closed in May, a few lucky cats were shortlisted in each category and the winners will be chosen by celebrity cat lovers such as athlete Sally Gunnell, actor Brian Blessed, actress Prunella Scales and TV presenter Tim Vincent. - The overall winner of this year’s Rescue Cat Awards will inherit the title from previous winner Tee Cee, a black-and-white cat that had been abandoned in a box as a kitten. Tee Cee was crowned 2006 winner after amazing judges with his ability to predict when his disabled owner would have an epileptic seizure – proving to be a lifeline to his family. - To view this year’s finalists, please log on to www.cats.org.uk -  Add as favourites (0) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 438
